Keisha Lance Bottoms formally launched her campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor Tuesday.

“Right now, we are facing chaos and uncertainty and anxiety based on the policies that are coming out of Washington. Georgians want and need a fighter,” said Bottoms during an interview with WABE.

Bottoms said she is prepared to be governor with President Donald Trump in the White House, as she was mayor for three years under Trump.
